CSS image-orientation Property

The image-orientation property in CSS is known for specifying the layout independent correction to the orientation of an image. It must not be used for any other orientation adjustments.

The transform property must be used in its place, along with the rotate transform-function property. This property was made only to be used for correcting the orientation of the images that were shot with the camera in a rotated way.

This property may be specified as keywords like none or from-image. The none value does not apply any additional image rotation and the from-image value is the default initial value.

Syntax

from-image | <angle> | [ <angle>? flip ]
